Have you see Koding? http://koding.com . Web-based IDE and terminal access to cloud servers they host for you. I've played around with it a bit and it is really, really cool.

For Rollbar ( http://rollbar.com ) it's been a fairly random mix: friends, twitter, reddit ads, sponsoring the Node Knockout, the occasional HN comment, and a surprising amount of word of mouth. More recently we've done a bit of PR but it h

They look similar design-wise, but both also look similar to Asana's API docs: http://developer.asana.com/documentation/ . It's just a nice way of laying out documentation. Looking through the PayPal docs quickly, they don't show any part

Indeed, maybe it would be better the "smart" or "deliberate" way.

Good defaults also let you give power users complex features while keeping the common case manageable. For http://ratchet.io , we're currently working on overhauling our notification system. The new system is rule-based, extremely flexibl

UberX cars still have towncar licenses though, judging by the TCP stickers on their bumpers.

I really like the idea of Zenbox, but I had to turn it off because the Chrome extension was bringing my browing experience to a crawl, on all sites (not just gmail). Hope team Zenbox can resolve the performance issues!

Looks great, guys. Slightly off-topic... the name "Ratchet" seems to be getting pretty crowded. In addition to this, there's also: - Ratchet the websockets library for PHP: http://socketo.me/ - http://ratchet.io - error tracking (my sta

Give us a try - http://ratchet.io . Mention HN when signing up and I'll send you an invite right away. Btw, it is fairly simple to build a minimally-useful product like this -- I built our prototype in about 2 days. But there's an extre

Ah, I didn't try that button. I think I subconsciously assumed that the X would just close a single dialog, not the whole tutorial. The automatic "what is your email address?" question seems a little weird to me. As a form creator, it's eas

Looks good! The tutorial is probably great for some class of users, but I thought your UI was self-explanatory enough to not need it, at least beyond knowing to drag-and-drop fields. Maybe add an "exit tutorial" button somewhere? Bug report

Yep, newhouseb is right -- it's Solarized. It came with Octopress, which I'm using for this blog. If it's useful at all, the blog source is on github: https://github.com/ratchetio/blog
